365 The Person Who Obstructed the Big Plan
“Huh?” The corners of Lin Hang’s mouth twitched slightly and he gave off a sinister aura.
Lin Shu’s body trembled again as she said, “Please… please kill Xu Qing!”
“A woman?” Lin Hang frowned slightly, his eyes filled with disgust.
“Yes. She completely obstructed our plan.” Lin Shu’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Lin Hang’s gaze was filled with mockery. “What ability does a woman have to affect my plan?” Lin Shu only wanted to use him to get rid of her obstacle. How stupid.
Lin Shu knelt again as she said, “Master, not only does that woman know how to detoxify poison, but she also knows how to detoxify your Gu worm. We can’t leave her alive!”
Lin Hang stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes. In the past, he had indeed encountered a person who was good at detoxification of poison… Lin Hang’s eyes were filled with menace, and his powerful killing intent made Lin Shu afraid yet happy. As long as Lin Hang had killing intent, he would attack. In other words, Xu Qing wouldn’t be able to hinder her anymore.
After Lin Hang left, Lin Shu collapsed to the ground completely and her entire back was drenched with cold sweat. It was obvious how afraid she was just now.
Actually, Lin Shu had always felt resentful about her situation. She had been forced to separate from her lover and marry a man she didn’t love. It wasn’t easy for her to accept her life and the mission given to her by her family, but that heartless man had fallen in love with Qiao Jiqing and had no feelings for her. She lived in fear and trepidation every day, as if she was walking on thin ice. After much suffering, she finally gave birth to the prince, but she was told that her son wouldn’t live past seven years old. At that time, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Her son was her last bit of hope and the only person helping her maintain her sanity.
Later on, she wanted to leave the clan, so that she wouldn’t be threatened anymore. Unexpectedly, she still couldn’t win against the clan. She wasn’t qualified to negotiate at all and could only be a puppet in their hands for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, Lin Shu became filled with ruthlessness. She had to make that body completely belong to her child and turn him back into the real Ao Jie! She touched the corner of her bleeding mouth as she made up her mind. She couldn’t mope anymore. It was time to find that person!
Over the past few days, Ao Jie had been having a headache. He thought that it was because he had been too tired recently, but he realized that there was a period of time when he couldn’t even remember what he was doing. Although the intervals were very short, it made him feel alarmed. He recalled that a mysterious man had appeared in Lin Shu’s palace two days ago. After that man left, he started to have headaches frequently.
He had to look for Xu Qing. At a time like this, he couldn’t force himself. Then, he avoided Lin Shu’s surveillance and sneaked out to look for Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was chatting with Deng Chengxi because Hua Yuncheng and Deng Jiangming had gone to the battlefield with Qiao Yanhui. In Xu Qing’s impression, these two didn’t seem to be very capable, so she wondered if they would drag Qiao Yanhui down.
“Hua Yuncheng just left and there’s no one to bicker with you anymore, so you miss him?” When Xu Qing saw the unhappy Deng Chengxi, she covered her mouth to snicker.
Deng Chengxi rolled her eyes at Xu Qing. “Miss him? Since no one is bickering with me, things are much more quiet and more peaceful. Besides, who wants to bicker with him?! I’m thinking about Beautiful Closet!”
“What happened?” Xu Qing was a little puzzled. Although she wanted Deng Chengxi to move on from Yi Chulin quickly, and Deng Chengxi and Hua Yuncheng seemed to like bantering with each other, her career was definitely more important.
Deng Chengxi’s expression was a little solemn. “Business has declined a lot recently.”
“Because of what?” Beautiful Closet was now the top choice for all women, especially when it released new products every month.
“You still remember ‘Pretty Clothes’, right?” Deng Chengxi asked.
Xu Qing nodded. Pretty Clothes had always been ranked in front of Beautiful Closet. Later on, because of Xu Qing, it lagged behind Beautiful Closet, but it had risen again recently. Pretty Clothes’ styles were actually mainly imitations of Beautiful Closet, but their clothes were decorated with all sorts of beautiful gems. Rich ladies liked this kind of lavish style, so they started to buy clothes and jewelry at Pretty Clothes more often.
Deng Chengxi frowned. “What should we do now? I’ve checked the source of their gems. They’re supplied by Green Mountain. Should we go to Green Mountain too? But I keep feeling that this might not be effective. After all, they’re already doing it.”
“We do need supplies, but not just these. As long as we don’t have them, we need to import them.” Only by constantly innovating could they stay ahead of the game.
“Alright, I’ll give the orders now. No, I have to go to various countries to inspect them personally. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease.” Deng Chengxi was very anxious. She felt that it was best to inspect things personally to gain more knowledge. That would be the best way to improve Beautiful Closet.
